Su Youyi returned to Kunning Palace and saw the eldest prince waiting in her palace.

It turned out that the eldest prince felt that the atmosphere was not right, and he was worried that there would be a gap between Su Youyi and the emperor, so he waited in Kunning Palace.

Su Youyi was moved in her heart, "Don't worry, how can it be so easy to get suspicious." ”

She went from a palace maid to the position of the queen, relying not only on the emperor's support, but also on how to keep the emperor's support, that is her ability.

However, the eldest prince has a heart, and her heart is warm.

The two were talking under the spring flowers outside the palace, and the eldest prince said: "I can see that my father seems to be unhappy because of Ji Shoufu's affairs. Queen Mother, you and Ji Shoufu ......"

The eldest prince seemed to see something.

He is no longer a child, he is already a wise and transparent person, thinking about the past, he has a vague answer in his heart.

Su Youyi was silent, "This matter is a long story, and I can't say it clearly." However, I can tell you that what Concubine Hui said in the palace that day was not completely false, I did know Ji Shoufu before entering the palace, but there was no adultery between us. ”

The eldest prince hurriedly said: "I naturally believe in the queen mother. My father also knows about this, right? ”

"Of course he does."

The eldest prince thought for a while, "Erchen has a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Su Youyi sneered, pinched his cheek, and suddenly felt that the feel was not right, which was different from the touch of meat whirring when she was a child.

He is now older, his cheeks are thinner, and his lines are sharper.

She lowered her hand.

"What else are you selling in front of me? Let's get straight to the point. ”

The eldest prince said: "Since my father is unhappy, the queen mother will not meet Ji Shoufu in the future, so as not to displease my father, what do you think?" ”

Su Youyi nodded solemnly, "This is also what I want to remind you." I know you admire Ji Shoufu's erudition, but you should not contact him in the future. Your father expects much from you, and he does not want you to associate with courtiers whom he does not like. ”

The eldest prince smiled: "This is nature. He is not the only capable person and virtuous minister in the DPRK, Ji Yushen, where can he ask for advice? By the way, I heard that my uncle is going to Jiangnan, when will he leave? ”

Now Su Youyi is the queen of the Middle Palace, Su Zhiming is both a new science and a national uncle, and the princes are all called uncles.

Su Youyi said: "I ordered someone to send a letter into the palace early this morning, saying that it was inconvenient to say goodbye, and I will leave tomorrow." I have ordered someone to send him off with some ceremonies, and Duofu should have been sent out of the palace by this time. ”

……

Zhang Zhidong and Su Zhiming's trip to the south of the Yangtze River was very eye-catching in the DPRK.

There were courtiers talking all the time, and the fleet sent a letter back to the court every two days, which became a hot topic of conversation among the courtiers.

One of the biggest points of discussion is that the emperor sent Jinke Champion and Tanhua to Jiangnan at the same time, but he did not say who was in charge.

If you look at the limelight of today's department, the champion is naturally unique.

But Tanhualang is the cousin of the current queen, and there is no doubt that he has covered the limelight.

In the end, which of these two people can win the power, I am afraid it will depend on their own abilities.

Above the court, the emperor's temptation of Ji Yushen went one step further.

"Why didn't Ji Shoufu come today?"

The ministers looked at each other, since Ji Yushen's temperament changed greatly, he was desolate in the house

Drunk, few courtiers have contacted him anymore.

Those ministers who originally belonged to the Li Party were naturally still closely connected with him, but they didn't dare to come forward, lest they become a thorn in the emperor's side.

The emperor snorted coldly, "Ji Shoufu left the court for no reason, is he sick or injured?" Marquis Weiyuan, after the next dynasty, you will go to the Ji Mansion on behalf of me to see, if Ji Shoufu has any injuries, ask the imperial doctor to treat them. ”

The emperor said that he would ask the imperial doctor to heal, but his tone did not look like he was worried at all.

Instead, there is some blame.

The courtiers were silent.

This is the first time after Li Gelao's death that the emperor has a deep complaint about Ji Yu, who has always been reused—if this is a small word.

What's even better is that the person he sent was Weiyuan Hou Jiangsu.

Jiang Su and Li Ge always had a great deal of trouble in the past, the two families were big relatives, and no one let anyone, and Jiang Su and Ji Yushen, the son-in-law of the Li family, had no friendship.

The emperor asked him to see Ji Yushen, what good can he say?

Jiang Su was a little proud, and stood up and gave his hand, "The minister obeys the order." ”

Looking at the smile on his face, he knew that he had bad intentions, and Li He, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, who was standing among the courtiers, frowned silently.

……

As soon as he arrived, Li He rushed towards Ji's mansion.

However, he was still a step too late, and when he arrived at the door, he saw that Jiang Su's sedan chair had stopped, and he immediately called the servant, "Hurry up, take a detour through the back door and go in!" ”

Li He was familiar with Ji's mansion, and took the risk to find Ji Yushen, who was drinking and enjoying flowers in the garden of Fuzhong.

He glanced around, but fortunately he was ahead of Jiang Su.

"Shousuke-sama!"

He hurried, "Quick, think of a way!" The emperor asked you why you didn't come to the court today, and now he has sent Jiang Su, the Marquis of Weiyuan, to take a look, don't let him see you like this! ”

He was so anxious that he forgot to do it.

Ji Yu waved his hand deeply, "What does this look like?" What the emperor wants to see is what I look like, why don't I let him see it? ”

Li He was in a hurry.

"If you drink in the palace and don't go to the court, if this matter reaches the ears of the emperor, won't the emperor have more justifiable reasons to investigate you? As long as you can't grasp the evidence, and we have good words for you in the court, the emperor will not dare to do anything for the sake of the ministers. ”

Ji Yushen smiled contemptuously.

Now is no longer the time for the dictatorship of the Li Party, why would the emperor not dare?

"The emperor has Jiang Su, Su Qing, Sima Hu, Zhang Zhidong and Su Zhiming...... What else would the emperor not dare? ”

Ji Yushen made up his mind, "You go, there is no need to implicate you, I have my own plans when Jiang Su comes." ”

Li He frowned deeply.

He also knows that the current Li Party does not have the power of Li Ge when he was there, but Ji Yushen is willing to fall like this, isn't it self-defeating?

Li Dang is resting, resting!

Li He flicked his sleeves and walked away.

Ji Yushen looked at his back, and felt a little sympathetic to him for a while.

The struggle for political power has always been only in the thoughts of those in power, so what is the power of a small henchman like Li He?

He naturally wanted to survive, and he couldn't stand Ji Yushen's single-minded pursuit of death.

……

Jiang Su couldn't wait for a response from the people in the mansion for a long time, so he simply played the emperor's signboard and entered the mansion directly, and drilled into the garden as soon as he entered.

According to rumors outside, Ji Yushen is not in the garden at the moment, but in the backyard of the two concubines.

Sure enough, he saw Ji Yushen in the pavilion next to the rockery in the garden, and he couldn't hide his drunken smell.

Jiang Su was a little surprised.

It seems that Ji Yushen is really broken and broken, and it's okay.

Even a powerful figure like Li Ge Lao was defeated in the end, and Ji Yushen refused to die and struggle, but let the emperor and him save a lot of effort.

"Ji Shoufu, what are you doing here?"

Jiang Su looked distressed, "The emperor was worried that you would not come to the court due to illness, but I didn't expect you to drink and have fun at home, so disappointing the emperor's grace, are you worthy of the emperor's grace?" ”

Ji Yushen faked his appearance, "Is it the Marquis of Weiyuan?" Are you coming to see me for the emperor? It's a pleasure to be honored. The emperor is aware of everything, and what he said is true, this official is indeed sick. ”

"What disease?"

"It's a strange disease that can only be cured by drinking."

Ji Yu smiled deeply, he didn't believe what he said, "I'm tired of Wei Yuanhou going back to tell the emperor for me that I want to recuperate at home for ten days and half a month, and I can't go to court." ”
